Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 253: Go to register
“Wasn’t Ke Guan Meow supposed to be learning Teleportation?! How did Little Treasure Hunting Ghost learn Chop first?!”
Qiao Sang’s mind was completely blank as she watched the scene unfold.
She couldn’t understand how Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who had only just increased the number of tiles to six before she left, suddenly comprehended and learned a Fighting-type skill as if in an epiphany!
A Ghost-type Pet learning a Fighting-type skill… Qiao Sang was in a daze.
Even though Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had been practicing Chop for over half a month, she had never thought it could actually master it.
“Qiao Dalao, what’s wrong with you? Is something happening?” Wang Yiding, who was beside her, saw Qiao Sang stand up, stare intently at the center of the field, and look shocked, so he couldn’t help but ask worriedly.
Qiao Sang came back to her senses and asked, puzzled, “Didn’t you see it?”
Wang Yiding tried hard to recall the scene he had just witnessed, and as if remembering something, he showed a look of sudden realization and looked up to comfort her:
“Treasure Hunting Ghost was just scaring Ke Guan Meow; its Chop was deliberately aimed off-target.”
In Wang Yiding’s view, Treasure Hunting Ghost’s teaching method was like a strict teacher, and Ke Guan Meow was like a struggling student.
It was common for teachers to use a ruler to scare students; it wasn’t actually hitting them.
Since Treasure Hunting Ghost didn’t have a ruler, it used Chop to scare them, which was fine.
The school rumor was that Qiao Dalao’s Treasure Hunting Ghost had practiced Chop to the point where it could easily defeat all Fighting-type Pets in the school, so it must have reached a High Level of mastery.
But the Chop Treasure Hunting Ghost just used clearly wasn’t powerful; it was obviously just to scare Ke Guan Meow.
Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment: “So you saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost use Chop?”
“Of course,” Wang Yiding said nonchalantly, “It’s just Chop; it didn’t hit Ke Guan Meow, so it’s fine.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a long time, feeling a bit confused.
Given Wang Yiding’s calm reaction, did it mean that a Ghost-type Pet learning a Fighting-type skill wasn’t actually that strange in society, and she was just overreacting?
Thinking this, Qiao Sang composed herself and silently sat back down.
It was just a Ghost-type Pet learning a Fighting-type skill; it shouldn’t be a big deal.
10:33 PM.
After more than an hour of teaching, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated back to its Yu Beast Master’s head.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s body was no longer as small as when it was first born; its entire body sat on Qiao Sang’s head, casting her face in shadow.
“Qiao Dalao, can we schedule another session tomorrow?” Wang Yiding asked.
“Yes,” Qiao Sang looked at the time on her phone and nodded, “Let’s keep it around the same time as today.”
Wang Yiding grinned and said, “Alright!”
He felt that the Dalao was quite easy to talk to.
The two chatted for a few minutes and exchanged contact information.
After Wang Yiding left, Qiao Sang went to the front desk and said, “There’s a crack on the ground of Training Area 3; please remember to take care of it.”
In a place like a Pet Battle Club, which is specifically for battle practice, damage to the training areas is common. After a battle, one just needs to report it, and Staff will promptly come to repair the area, ensuring it doesn’t affect the next customer’s experience.
“Understood,” the woman replied, and she sent a message in the computer’s work group about the need for area repair.
When she finished typing and looked up, she noticed that the young, green-looking sparring partner hadn’t left yet.
“I wanted to ask if our club provides training areas for sparring partners?” Before the woman could ask, Qiao Sang spoke, “Like training areas where powerful skills can be used freely.”
This was Qiao Sang’s true purpose for coming to the Pet Battle Club tonight.
A training area that could withstand Yabao using Shadow Clone to simultaneously cast Mars Rain was not easy to find, and the highly-rated training areas in Hanggang City were not near her home.
It was always best to find a training area as close as possible. Most importantly, if Hongying Pet Battle Club had a suitable area, she, as a sparring partner at the club, could use it for free, killing two birds with one stone.
“Yes,” the woman thought for a moment and said, “However, it’s usually only High Level sparring partners who train there.”
Qiao Sang was startled: “It’s not just High Level sparring partners who can train there, is it?”
“No, it’s not,” the woman explained, “It’s just that generally only High Level sparring partners need to use that kind of area.”
That’s good. Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
“The training area is straight ahead to the right, in the innermost section marked ‘No Entry for Unauthorized Personnel’,” the woman reminded her, “If you go, it’s best to find a more secluded spot to avoid being affected by the skills of High Level sparring partners’ Pets.”
Qiao Sang returned home in a great mood.
This trip out not only found a place for Yabao to practice Mars Rain, but also earned her some extra money, and most importantly, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost learned Chop.
Qiao Sang went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out an apple.
“Xun~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated happily beside her, holding up its right paw which had just used Chop.
“You’ve been talking all this way, aren’t you tired yet?” Qiao Sang closed the refrigerator and laughed.
“Xun~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost stopped and wiggled a short toe.
Of course, it wasn’t tired.
“Xun!”
Then, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost made two horizontal Chops in the air with its right paw, and its gaze fell on the apple in Qiao Sang’s hand.
Stare—
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, placed the apple on a nearby table, and said, “Go ahead and Chop it.”
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at its Yu Beast Master, displaying an expression that said, “Leave it to me.”
It turned its head to stare at the apple, raised its right paw, and used the recently learned Chop to cut the apple into four pieces with two “cha cha” sounds.
After finishing the cutting, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at its Yu Beast Master with its watery eyes and blinked.
Qiao Sang opened her mouth and said:
“Awesome!”
After washing up that night, Qiao Sang lay in bed and looked at a shopping platform.
Now that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had learned Chop, it naturally wouldn’t get injured from chopping six tiles anymore.
Qiao Sang decisively bought three large boxes of tiles.
For Water Luyana to practice Healing Light, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s training volume had to increase.
As soon as Qiao Sang placed the order, as if thinking of something, she added two more boxes.
Originally, she didn’t expect Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to get first place in the bare-handed tile-chopping event because it couldn’t Chop tiles at all.
Now that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had learned Chop, Qiao Sang’s thoughts became active.
She had initially thought it was just about participation, but she had a Gold Finger, so she could completely make Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s proficiency in Chop skyrocket, catching up to other Fighting-type Pets before the sports meeting.
“Solidifying the fact that in the teacher’s eyes, her special skill is strong, then she can ask for leave with more confidence…” Qiao Sang thought to herself.
After buying the tiles, she started looking at energy recovery liquids.
She watched, her heart clenching.
This was the big expense.
Friday.
As soon as Qiao Sang’s afternoon classes ended, she headed straight for Training Area 5.
“Qiao Sang, how’s the task going?” Shi Gaofeng asked curiously.
“It’s going well, quite well,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
“I knew it.” Shi Gaofeng pouted, looking as if it was exactly as he expected.
Qiao Sang looked around and noticed that Wang Yao, who was usually there, wasn’t this time, so she asked, “Where’s Wang Yao?”
“She took leave,” Shi Gaofeng whispered, “The reason she gave for taking leave was that she was doing a task, but actually, her younger brother just contracted a Pet, and she’s accompanying him to register it.”
“Her brother, he…”
Qiao Sang could no longer hear what Shi Gaofeng was saying; only two words echoed in her mind.
Register!!!
Good heavens! Her Water Luyana hadn’t been registered yet!
Qiao Sang suddenly snapped awake and ran out.
“Qiao Sang! Where are you going?!” Shi Gaofeng shouted.
“To register!”
